STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS: FUNDAMENTALS
AND APPLICATIONS
Statistical Thermodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications discusses the
fundamentals and applications of statistical thermodynamics for beginning
graduate students in the engineering sciences. Building on the prototypical
Maxwell–Boltzmann method and maintaining a step-by-step development of
the subject, this book makes few presumptions concerning students’ previous
exposure to statistics, quantum mechanics, or spectroscopy. The book begins
with the essentials of statistical thermodynamics, pauses to recover needed
knowledge from quantum mechanics and spectroscopy, and then moves on to
applications involving ideal gases, the solid state, and radiation. A full intro-
duction to ic theory is provided, including its applications to transport
phenomena and chemical ics. A highlight of the textbook is its discussion
of modern applications, such as laser-based diagnostics. The book concludes
with a thorough presentation of the ensemble method, featuring its use for real
gases. Each chapter is carefully written to address student difficulties in learn-
ing this challenging subject, which is fundamental bustion, propulsion,
transport phenomena, spectroscopic measurements, and nanotechnology. Stu-
dents are fortable with their new knowledge by the inclusion of both
example and prompted homework problems.
Normand M. Laurendeau is the Ralph and Bettye Bailey Professor bus-
tion at Purdue University. He teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels in the areas of thermodynamics, combustion, and engineering ethics. He
conducts research in bustion sciences, with particular emphasis on laser
diagnostics, pollutant formation, and flame structure. Dr. Laurendeau is well
